We are thrilled to announce that 23 of our Fine Arts students had their work recognized by the Scholastic Arts Association. Students from all over the state submitted pieces for consideration, with over 2,200 pieces being reviewed and just under 500 awards given . Presented by the nonprofit organization the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the 100th Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the country's longest-running and most prestigious scholarship and recognition program for creative students in grades 7–12. In total we had 36 pieces of student art work, accounting for an impressive percentage of the total recognitions. We have long been proud of our celebrated Fine Arts program and are always thrilled to see their hard work and talent recognized by the community.
